    Bills-Jets week 1

    Didn’t we beat the Dolphins 35-0 and 26-11 in 2021? Lol

    In week 8, the Dolphins' defense spent the first half of the game utterly frustrating the Bills' offense. After the half, the Bills adjusted, and the Dolphins dropped their scheme that had payed such dividends, and the Bills came back and dominated them. That was the 26-11 game. Later in the week, Urban Meyer, the Jags HC, was asked about the first half of the Bills v. Fish game, and if he had seen a weakness in the Bills offense. He answered in remarkably detailed terms, and basically spelled out what he had seen, and why the Dolphins had been successful with it (albeit, only in the first half). Essentially, cover zero sub six. And the following weekend, that is exactly what the Jags did to beat the Bills.

     

    I remember being stunned that Meyer would show his hand so freely, and in such detail-- that's why I remembered the Dolphins game. Be that as it may, I stand by my remarks to ScottLaw.

    Doesn’t what a 12 personnel?

     

    Again, my point was a run heavy or balanced attack is a bad game plan with Allen as the QB… regardless of weather. 

    Well, there's balanced, and there's balanced. When Daboll was running a pure spread offense, with no run game in '21, teams like the Dolphins, and Jags did figure out how to exploit it. I think they feel Cook is a key element because he only needs to be average as a running back, but with legit receiving skills. If we can trust Allen to read a defense, and execute an RPO, (we certainly can), then the balanced attack becomes a nightmare for opposing defenses. 

     

    Which I know doesn't negate, or contradict your point. An RPO is "in Allen's hands," so to speak.

    This is actually getting absurd. Among much more, Brooks says he has a hard time envisioning us making the playoffs.

     

    So many problems he mentions here as his premise are, in my opinion, baseless.

     

    That Bengals loss seems to have done a real number on everyone not named Kyle Brandt or Peter King.

    In my opinion, Bucky Brooks has zero original ideas, or opinions. I think he mostly reads what other people say, and regurgitates it onto his column. At this time of year, that means he’s spitting back up all sorts of clickbait hot-takes. And as the season progresses, it transitions into restating the obvious.
     

    Lazy journalism. 
     

     

    The Bills will win if/The Jets will win if....

    I expect both defensive lines to win their battles.

    I would certainly agree. I think all the O-lines in the AFCE are fairly mediocre. The Jets probably have a slightly better D-line, and the Bills a slightly better O-line. The Bills are well set up for a lot of two TE formations, and I believe they ran these even with Morris and Joel Wilson in the preseason. I also think the Jets' TE Uzomah will be backing their O-line all day. It's going to be a tough battle, to be sure. I agree with @juno999 above that the team that protects their QB the best wins. But, I will add that if that battle is a wash, Josh Allen has the edge.

    Not sure if it's been brought up but is anyone else a littler surprised/worried that the Cowboys Giants game is being played on that field Sunday night?  Seems like a quick turn around to get the field in shape for Monday night.  Especially with it having notoriously sh#^^y field conditions (non contact injuries) the last few years.  Unless they fixed it somehow in the off season, maybe i missed some news on that.

    If there are issues with the field, I'd feel better about our O-line playing on it than I would feel about the Jets O-line, with Mekhi Becton having left preseason game one after four snaps because his knee wasn't digging the turf.

    I'll never forget Lee Smith when he was mic'd up with the Falcons when they played the Bills a couple years ago. Hilarious!

    I always loved how color commentators would refer to him as "blocking tight end Lee Smith," and then he'd go ahead and catch a TD pass. As slow as he was, he actually ran routes a few times per game, and if the defense didn't notice him, he'd make a play. He was a better athlete than people gave him credit for. I saw him in an interview once where he bragged that he could play anywhere on the O-line, in a pinch. But, his real use was in the jumbo packages. That was where the much-maligned Bobby Hart was actually useful. I think it's a wrinkle that this current roster lacks.

    There are soooo many media pundits who are going to lose their minds regardless of how this game goes. Whichever team wins, especially if they dominate the game, will be crowned the AFCE champs after week one. 
     

    But I don’t think this game is as important as all that. The AFCE is the toughest division in the league, IMO. With arms race that has occurred this off-season, I believe it’s going to come down to a war of attrition— especially in the trenches, and the Bills have the advantage in that regard.

     

    While all the O-lines in the East are pretty even really, albeit mediocre, the Bills could lose any one of the O-line, and possibly two, without a huge drop off. Neither the Jets, nor Phins can say that. 
     

    And while the Bills don’t have the best D-line in the division, it is the deepest.

    Will boogie basham be the next Wyatt Teller for Beane?

    I've considered Boogie to be one of the underrated players on the team, who didn't get as many opportunities as he would on a different team. He had a lot of shade thrown at him his rookie season because he spent so many games as a healthy scratch. But, he was the second DE drafted that year (after Groot, of course), and there were 11 D-linesmen on the team. Of course he was a game-day inactive. His play reminded me a bit of Trent Murphy, who would seem fairly invisible for much of the game, but then would always make a few good plays. But, Boogie never got anywhere near the playing time.

     

    We'll see how well Kingsley Jonathan does this season in comparison, and if Boogie excels in another system, I will consider that a validation of Beane's drafting acumen.

    Why not give Milano the “dot” and let him make the defensive calls?

    but it is broke and we have to fix it- at least with regards to who is going to call plays. 
     

    beyomd Milano, even a poyer or Hyde could contribute as guys that are experienced, don’t come off the field and read the whole offense anyway. 
     

    MLB would be ideal but suddenly we may be cycling through several at varying levels of nfl and bills playbook experience. 
     

    I think it’s at least a fair an interesting question in the offseason

    More than once I saw Poyer tap Edmunds on the shoulder and point to something he was missing.
